President Bola Tinubu has urged Nigerians to recognize that they are not the only ones facing poverty and suffering in the world. In a meeting with a delegation from the National Assembly in Lagos, Tinubu acknowledged the challenges facing the country but emphasized the need for a change in mindset to overcome them.
“Yes, there is poverty; there is suffering in the land. We are not the only people facing such, but we must face our challenges,” Tinubu said. He highlighted the need to eliminate banditry and terrorism to allow farmers to produce food and to develop the country’s infrastructure to reduce food waste.
The President stressed the importance of changing the nation’s value system, encouraging citizens to become more productive and stop economic sabotage. “We must tell our people that the challenge we face is for all of us to change our mindset about our country,” he said.
Tinubu commended the National Assembly for their support, which has led to significant developments in his administration. He acknowledged the daunting task ahead but assured Nigerians of his determination to turn things around.
The meeting was attended by Senate President Godswill Akpabio, Deputy Senate President Jibrin Barau, and Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives Benjamin Kalu, among others.
